You haven't been paying much attention then I'm guessing. They are in major debt (100 mill iirc). Last I read they might have found a backer to help them out some but don't know what has/is coming of it.

They have 3 big titles they are pretty much banking their future on. South Park Stick of Truth, Company of Heroes 2, Metro Last Light. They delayed them all as well because they can't afford for them to not be up to snuff.

They are on life support with bankruptcy coming.

If 2 million people buy this bundle for $10 each, they cut 20% of their debt. Now, the average is $5.50 (I can't access at work), so they won't get nearly that.

That article is sensationalist. I'm also surprised at some of the reader comments.

"Oh no, big-budget games that require Steam DRM and Windows only? I WILL NEVER BUY ANYTHING FROM HUMBLE BUNDLE EVER AGAIN"

Whatever. For every person that's really that die-hard about the games being indie and whatnot, a dozen new people will come lured by awesome deals.

Maybe it's just that we consider the best part of the Humble Bundle to be something different? Personally, I've never cared about it being on Linux, Windows or Android, and I don't care about the lack of DRM as I always get Steam keys. The best part of the HIB has always been the great price, and that still exists here.

That's probably why we don't care. We realize that they will still have HIBs even after this that will be more along the usual ways.

Well, still not sure I like HB going away from the whole indie/no-DRM/multi platform mantra they had before. Deals I can get on Steam, humblebundle was something different.. Hopefully this is just a one-time thing

And out of those I don't care about any other game than company of heroes, which I already own.
